Coronavirus (COVID-19) update:

IMPORTANT NEWS 

Government Guidance on coronavirus (COVID-19)

22nd September  2020 update 


  • New advice brings England into line with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which have all advised people to work from home wherever possible throughout the pandemic. The 'change in advice' is "..if you can work from home you should." Gove, M. (22 Sept. 2020) BBC News


 Therefore, after careful consideration of our staff and clients, Paul Gregory Associates Ltd will offer provision online (and telephone) only for the time being. This position will be reviewed monthly. We apologise for any inconvenience .                                 


                    Our Plan for continued support at PGA

CURRENT CLIENTS:

Telephone or online therapy (including EMDR) will continue.



NEW & RETURNING CLIENTS

  • We would like to invite you to consider DISCOUNTED telephone and/or video [online] support with PGA. This is a service we have offered for some years to our internationally-based clients or those for whom physical in-person support was not an option. BACP and EMDR UK have both recommended remote support in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Please call/contact us today for more information or to book an appointment. 



ONLINE THERAPY 

Special considerations have been made to protect our clients

  • “Any unplanned breaks due to [therapist] illness or other causes will be managed in ways to minimise inconveniencing clients and, for extended breaks, may include offering to put clients in touch with other practitioners.” (BACP Good Practice, point 41)
  • Practitioners need to ensure that their “wellbeing is sufficient to sustain the quality of their work” (BACP Commitment 2d) 
  • Coronovirus contingency clause: Disclosures in the public interest, based on the common law, are made where this is essential to prevent a serious and imminent threat to public health, national security, the life of the individual or a third party, or to prevent or detect serious crime. This may become relevant if your therapist contracts the virus and is obliged to inform the NHS of people they've been in contact with. In this case, we may need to share client names and contact details (but not the context in which we know them). However, clients may be contacted by the NHS. 

The latest developments in our field, and the latest guidance on Health and Wellbeing for staff, clients and the wider community (particularly those more vulnerable), is something we take very seriously at PGA. (see below). 

Thank you for your cooperation.

For Adults, Children or the Whole family


Our team of Professional Qualified Humanistic, Psychodynamic & Integrative clinicians can be accessed without the waiting lists experienced with many other healthcare providers. Specializing in innovative and effective person-centred EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT and NLP talking therapies in Chichester (for adults and children), our therapists are here to help you. Whether you are experiencing a time of stress, trauma, loss, change, confusion, depression or heightened emotion counselling/psychotherapy can offer crucial and timely support. Here, we offer short- or long-term treatment to adults, children, young people, groups, families and organisations in Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire (and internationally - through telephone & online support) without the need of long waiting lists and a narrow choice of interventions.

Welcome! We would like to help you! Our therapies are assessed collaboratively with you and progress side by side with your hopes and expectations in order to stay as effective as we can. You are the expert on you. Our therapists are suitably qualified and experienced in facilitating therapeutic change.


Paul Gregory Associates Ltd is an independent, professional organisation offering access to experienced male and female counsellors. Therapeutic casework is assessed and managed centrally and all therapists are qualified, experienced, accredited and registered with a recognised professional organisation e.g. BACP (or working towards) and receive qualified mode-appropriate supervision. We aim to deliver the most effective treatments by matching clients with the most suitable therapist. At the initial consultation, your assessor will help you through some key questions in order to understand your particular needs. Then, once agreed, your assessor will involve you in the allocation of your therapist. The assessors will marry their expertise with your knowledge of yourself to help you find an effective therapeutic relationship with a skilled qualified and experienced counsellor or psychotherapist. When you call the number above, your therapy has already begun. Paul Gregory Associates Ltd will continue to manage your case until you feel you are ready to let go. We offer both experienced male and female practitioners to help you find the most effective psychotherapeutic relationship for you. Remember, you are the expert on you. We are only experts on what we do. Call or email to book an appointment - or just to ask a question. We say there are no such things as silly questions...just silly answers!

Telephone and Skype counselling & EMDR available!

How much does therapy cost?


It's an important question.

We don't want to be vague, but it varies across the industry, and even across our clientele! The hourly cost of therapy can be anywhere from free (e.g. charitable organizations) to hundreds of pounds (e.g. in some London clinics). Fees usually depend on a clinic's expertise (practitioner Qualification/Accreditation/Registration & experience, clinical reputation/professional standing, adequate insurances (liability & employer's), ongoing supervision/CPD (Continuous Professional Development), and facilities-associated overheads (convenience, comfort, aesthetics etc).


Our fees

Here at Paul Gregory Associates Ltd, fees can vary according to several variables e.g. type of intervention (long-term/short-term), number of clients per intervention (individual/couple's/group), length of session (single, session-and-a-half, double), location of an intervention (home, clinic, in vivo, telephone, etc), whether professional/referral agencies are involved (where additional reports, admin or Court appearances are often requested). By way of openness and transparency, a typical one-off, 50 minute, self-funded, individual, adult therapy session with a lead therapist will cost £90 (January 2020). Don't be afraid to be upfront about finances! As with most therapists, we will offer a sliding scale of fees according to your means (and our availability) where necessary. We would rather help than not, and if we can we will. Please ask.


In our experience, effective therapy is an investment. And research suggests that effective therapy depends on the therapeutic relationship (between client and therapist) above all other clinical considerations. Therefore, the therapy company you choose is the crucial bit. Fees can (and should) be discussed and revisited anytime!
